"The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the united States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it. Statists believe that their lives -- their very being -- are a privilege that the state has given to them. They believe that everything they do is -- and should be -- dependent on the consent of the government." ~ Jacob Hornberger

Progressives and Blacks

"Sometimes I wonder when black people will reject the patronizing insults of white progressives and their black handmaidens. After CNN’s Piers Morgan’s interview with the key witness in the George Zimmerman trial, he said: "Rachel Jeantel is not uneducated. She's a smart cookie." That’s a remarkable conclusion. Here’s a 19-year-old young lady, still in high school, who cannot read cursive and appears to be barely literate. Morgan may have meant Jeantel is smart -- for a black person."

"...When black Americans finally recognize the harm of the progressive agenda, I’m betting they will be the nation’s most conservative people, for who else has been harmed by progressivism as much?..."

Sam: I wish this were true, but look at the long years of service black America has given to the Democratic party and never realizing that they were in part and parcel with the klu Klux Klan. Democrats were the original racists until it became clear to them that black folks were going to be the way to their success in the socialization of this nation. Also, no one ever mentions how the American Indian votes. I don't even know that because the government has made them to be pretty much an invisible people. Who promises them anything as the Democrats have promised to the Black Americans.
Yes, there are some Black Americans who have not bought into the Democratic deceit. I think they are the ones who need to speak up, but if they do, Jessy Jackson and Al Sharpton will put them down. Hmmmm. I think maybe Walter has a point there. It is one I can certainly believe in.
